Brain scans offer fresh insights into ADHD
Conclusion This research, based on comparing the brain scans of people with ADHD with those without, highlighted areas of brain connectivity that were different in the two groups. These regions have previously been associated with some of the symptoms characteristic of ADHD.  The study's authors were considered in their conclusions and did not suggest that improvements in ADHD diagnosis could be made based on their results. They called for further research to confirm and validate their findings and to develop further understanding of the neurological basis of ADHD. It is feasible this sort of technology might be used to...

Steroid use in premature babies linked to ADHD
Conclusion This research is exploratory and on its own does not prove that pregnancy exposure to corticosteroids causes ADHD. The research does have strengths in that it matched exposed and non-exposed children on the basis of sex and gestational age. Matching for gestational age and prematurity in particular is important – prematurity is associated with pre-birth corticosteroid use, as well as an increased risk of adverse effects upon brain development and mental health. This could therefore confound the relationship. The researchers further adjusted for various possible socioeconomic, medical and pregnancy-related...

As they point out, young people currently spend more time with media than they do in school. Common Sense Media also came out with a report about media in kids under 8 years old. The good news i...

When Your Child’s ADHD Treatment Stops Working
Your child might be having a harder time focusing on homework. His or her grades might be slipping. Or he or she might be getting into trouble more often at school or at home. In other words, your child’s symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be getting worse — or not getting any better. So what do you do if treatment seems to be “wearing off”?
